Have you ever gotten an in home trial?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 10h

One site that I am on often has "in home usage tests" but I never qualify, never get to complete the survey. Tonight I completed one, and should get product to sample. The bummer is that I cannot talk about it or anything. I...

Canned cream style corn

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 26 Mar

Not something I would choose, but some was given to me. It was part of our poverty meals growing up. I learned to fill up on various high carb foods. Dad taught us to butter a slice of bread and spoon the cream corn over it. Like...

Every day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 26 Mar

Bob's kidney doctor wants him to check his blood pressure on a wifi enabled monitor every day. I guess it helps him decide if it is okay for Bob to take his heart medicine. Our primary care physician laughed and said that this...

I think we got it

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 25 Mar

Sorry if it is TMI but it appears our small class of special kids has acquired a stomach bug. Now the adults are experiencing it. We sent a coworker home yesterday. I figured I am pretty immune, but today I have issues, and so...

Full Friday

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 24 Mar

It is only overly full because I stayed in bed an extra hour. I was up late last night. Today I work a full day of school, and I wanted to be rested up. We also plan to go for a few groceries after work. By doing that I clear out...

Nice weather yesterday

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 23 Mar

We had really warm weather yesterday and I think it gave me a mental lift. Or maybe it was the nap I took when I got home yesterday. Anyway, I have a lot of "business" type things I need to get done, and I had neglected myLot...

Small increments

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 22 Mar

I need a new mouse, I think. And that is about all I can afford right now. The reason I say a new mouse is that this is the cheapo one that came with my refurbished computer last year. For a while yesterday I did not have a...

Lately I get suspicious

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 21 Mar

When someone responds to me in a very proper and informative way here in my posts, I get suspicious. I find myself wondering if it is a person or artificial intelligence? A bot, perhaps? Not that I feel that way about my older...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 21 Mar

This entire week will be tolerable. It is more spring like today than yesterday. For morning recess we wore our jackets. Soon that will be a thing of the past. Tomorrow will be even better. Good thing, as we are supposed to...

Work is work. hard work

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 20 Mar

My primary kiddo was glad to be back at school. He was happy and kind of "wound up". Getting back to the school routine kind of tired him out. I leave after lunch. He gets a few minutes rest period in that time. Today the...

Top your Tater

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 19 Mar

During break for a change of pace Bob and I went to a fundraiser meal. It was a potato bar. You were given a baked potato of your choice, Bob took a huge one. Then they had various toppings you could put on them. Things like...

Whadya Know, Bitty Kitty likes peanut butter!

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 18 Mar

In the past few days I have caught Bitty smelling of flatware that had peanut butter on it. I have seen her trying to open the jar. I had some peanut butter with some ginger snaps for a morning break. Just for fun I offered her...

I posted about a site where I had earned a bit for a task and about not being in their system when I tried to log back in. The site only recognizes certain browsers, and I was not using the right one when I tried to log...

I seem to have disappeared

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 17 Mar

Last Tuesday I answered a work from home ad for some AI work. I claimed the task, made an account and spent an hour doing said task. I thought it was fun. I was paid for it yesterday, and let's just say it was well worth my...

I cannot figure it out

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 17 Mar

I have been awake off and on since about 1:30 this morning.. Bob has been restless about that long as well. We got to bed at an almost decent hour last night, trying to prepare to go back to work. I am not consciously worrying...

Suddenly it is snowing

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 16 Mar

There will not be a huge build up, but it was fun to watch. The big, fat, fluffy flakes fell in gentle spirals because the wind had died down. I just happened to notice as I looked out the kitchen window as I was preparing baked...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 16 Mar

I am willing to bet you have never heard of this holiday. I had not until the past five years. Bob, my husband, is of Finnish descent. His family helped populate the upper peninsula of Michigan. Here is a brief posting from...

It was sunny and warm when I got up

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 16 Mar

It WAS sunny, not so much now. The temperature is not bad, but it is getting very cloudy, and windy. I have heard that our weather is going to be kind of cool until the end of March. This is not really usual, if I remember...

Besides getting my myLot incentive today I have also had other adventures. Jane and I went to coffee at Wendy's in Hillsboro. We like to get together and chat for a couple of hours. Then I went to the thrift shop in...

This is how they get along

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (150305) • United States 15 Mar

I was a bit worried about bringing Bruno to my house. He is huge compared to Bitty. They have their chase and scuffle moments all in fun. They were skeptical of each other at first. Ever since I brought Bitty home from her visit...
